[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think summer break is too long? I think it’s actually too short! I prefer the mid June end and starting after Labor Day. [/quote]

Agree. It is far too short. It is ridiculous that school gets out so late. It is the same number of days just stretched out. Seems easier to have a routine over a longer summer period.[b] Actually I’d prefer a trimester system with longer in between breaks than the usual death by a thousand cuts approach.[/b][/quote]

I would love a trimester system!  Or the standard year-round timeline: 9 weeks in school, 3 weeks off, with a 5 week "summer" break between grade levels.  (But since we can't even switch to the metric system in the US, this is just a dream.)[/quote]
Some schools in the Raleigh metro area are like this .. 9 weeks in school, 3 weeks off year round + 2 weeks off winter break and 5 weeks summer vacation. It was great. There are several “track out camps” options for the 3 weeks breaks. So no problem for working parents. Kids went back to school refreshed after those breaks. Also, the short summer vacation meant the summer slide was lesser. Most importantly, families could go to popular vacation spots during the non-peak times because of those 3 weeks breaks.[/quote]
